Joshua Scott Wooding is a veteran FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) and the Chief Pilot at Precision Aircraft Management, operating out of Searcy Municipal Airport (KSRC) in Arkansas. With over twenty years of experience in the cockpit, Wooding has established himself as a central figure in the Little Rock FSDO region. His professional background includes extensive work as a flight instructor, charter pilot, and aviation manager, roles in which he has mentored hundreds of students through the rigors of flight certification and operational safety.
Holding an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate along with CFI, CFII, and MEI ratings, Wooding possesses thousands of hours of flight time across a diverse range of piston and turbine aircraft. His safety-first philosophy is reinforced by his survival of a 2010 mechanical failure involving a powered parachute, an event that underscored the critical importance of equipment integrity and pre-flight diligence. This experience has made him a particularly thorough examiner, specializing in Private, Commercial, and Instrument ratings. He is known for a fair yet demanding examination style that prioritizes mechanical awareness and pilot decision-making, ensuring that every successful candidate is prepared for the national airspace system.
